Term dates & School Menus
Horse riding sessions resume in the Summer Term
Our students in Hummingbirds class had a great start to the New Year by having their first horse riding session, overcoming some fears, and everyone getting onto a horse.
Our School
Hill Park School is a maintained specialist school for pupils aged 4 -16 with either a moderate, severe or profound learning disability. All pupils attending the school have an EHCP.
The needs of our pupils range from having Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD) , Physical Disabilities , Autism (ASC), Moderate (MLD) or Severe Learning Disabilities (SLD). As a learning disability Hub we are not a school for pupils who have a primary need of Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), there is an excellent separate SEMH Hub in the City.
Following our merger in September 2018 we became a school based across two sites, and then in September 2023 we opened a third site, The Hive, in Hollingdean, Brighton.
Since September 2019 the Upper Site is for Secondary pupils . There are 13 classes from Y7 - Y11 grouped both by year group and primary need. Classes are therefore organised into those for students with
- severe learning disability and autism
- severe learning disability without autism
- moderate learning disability and autism
- moderate learning disability without autism
- we also have one class of Key Stage 3 and 4 students with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities
This organisation model ensures that all students have the learning environment and approach to teaching and learning that will maximise thier progress across all areas.
The Lower Site is for Primary aged pupils YR - Y6. We have 12 classes grouped in the same way as the secondary site. Once again we offer classroom environments and approaches to teaching and learning that maximise our younger pupils' progress.
The Hive Centre is a small specialist provision for secondary age children with an Autism diagnosis who have found it difficult to access learning in a mainstream school.
Although we are a generic specialist school we do not offer a generic model of teaching and learning - come and have a look round to see us in action!
